INTROS + MONTHLIES

Who: Everyone
When: Day 51, evening
Where: the Aurora

[It's evening, and as the stars come out you get that text again:]
WELCOME NEW HEROES

[This round's newbies are waking up in their rooms, in the usual nondescript undies or team pyjamas.

Outside, the fog is gone. In its place is a pleasant evening, its beauty enhanced by tiny, softly-glowing flowers along the jungle paths. Unfortunately, should you peer closer toy may notice these flowers have blackened, curled leaves -- and the scent that wafts up when you step on them will either heighten or dull one of your senses.

But hey, why go in the jungle when you could eat questionable snacks in the lounge again? This time there are towers of round chocolates in varying colours, and sparkle blue and white snowflake decor on the walls and hanging from the ceiling. In typical Star Prince and Knights fashion there is a lot of glitter, and the chocolates definitely have a magical side-effect: in this case, transformation.

☆ Blue-wrapped chocolates cause your character to shift in age. They may get older or younger, and this transformation may be purely physical or may include mental shifting as well.

☆ Silver-wrapped chocolates cause your character to gain animal features -- anything from cat ears to fully becoming a cat is acceptable, and any animal real or mythical is game. It won't change you to a size that doesn't fit in the train, though.

☆ White-wrapped chocolates cause a transformation to a different physical sex.

☆ Black-wrapped chocolates cause you to take on the form of another person -- someone on the train or someone you remember from elsewhere. It won't turn you into anyone you don't personally know, however.

These effects wear off within a few hours, and you can combine more than one. Enjoy your icebreaker and make that fresh meat feel welcome!]

[[OOC NOTES: As the monthly prompt, the flowers will continue until next month's placements. If you have any questions, please ping the mods via the q&a. Thank you!]]

... I guess that's a relief.

[ that would have been very weird. ]
daydreamshimmer: illumnious @ DA (Pony: And where did these come from)

[personal profile] daydreamshimmer 2019-12-23 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

So....you know the whole rundown?

[ rubbing his face. ]

Yes. I won't make you waste your time.
daydreamshimmer: (Pony: Eeeeh could be better)

[personal profile] daydreamshimmer 2019-12-26 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well, at least there's that.

What should I cover then?

[ hmmmm. ]

Thank you for the information.
daydreamshimmer: (Pony: A little sweet)

[personal profile] daydreamshimmer 2020-01-06 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well, we are teammates. And teammates should be informative.

[personal profile] cawnflict 2020-01-08 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
...yes, completely.

[ :^) ... to be fair, he's BETTER at it now. ]
daydreamshimmer: (Pony: Lecture time)

[Listen, she had a Bad Experience about information, she's trying to turn it around.]

....

I meant informative about the information that's relevant to the group, like whose around, current events, stuff like that. You can choose to share your personal information at your own pace.

Did someone tell you too much?
daydreamshimmer: (Pony: Yeah that might be dumb)

[personal profile] daydreamshimmer 2020-01-15 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
More like the exact opposite. It took a while before anyone was willing to tell me anything useful about this place.

As for personal information, that's just common sense. People open up at their own pace. If it becomes an actual problem affecting others, that's one thing, but if it's just you stuff, that's you stuff.

[And if it is a Problem Affecting Others, she has ways to deal with that.]

...they really didn't tell you anything useful?

[ even for a crime lord that's kind of weird. ]
daydreamshimmer: (Pony: Yeah that might be dumb)

[personal profile] daydreamshimmer 2020-01-17 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
No, not for a good while.

[She was kind of freaked out with Naveen and it just went way downhill.]

And that bites, so I'm encouraging to not do that.

How things change so quickly...

[personal profile] cawnflict 2020-01-29 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm just reminiscing. Don't worry about it.

[personal profile] daydreamshimmer 2020-01-29 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Less worry as just curious about you.
